Well, it's not a cure per se, it's a "prominent treatment." Still, this is pretty high level stuff, and the person who made the discoveries is still in high school. A bright mind with a bright future. Also, he's found a way to make sorbet without gelatin.

I'm 29 and I tell mexicans what to do till I get laid off in 2 weeks, but this brings up a good point.

I have seen signs that this generation is way more driven than my slack ass generation x. The old folks seam to always talk shit, but when they were 16 they were learning how to tap a keg, and smoking weed as their prep to college, and most of that was getting out of the draft.

The difference in this case is the level of technology that they're familiar with, even if everyone of the old folks wanted to do what this kid did they'd have been hard pressed with insufficient technologies.

there's this drug called mephadroneit's not very good, it's sorta like the ego of coke and the openness/ranting of MDMA, though this drug was pretty grimwhen this drug was first created a couple of years ago, it was legal for a bit because there were no laws against it, clearlyi knew a 17 year old who ran a huge business, selling kilos of the stuff from an office in londonpictures of them with piles of it on their desk

then it got made illegal and the offices got raided because they didn't shut down their operation in time because they were dumbhad all their assets seized, one of the three involved got a jail sentence

yup, that's the way it goes. You stop sales and wait for another drug that is slightly different so that it is legal and you open up shop again. I know a few people who do that with "herbal supliments" or "incense kits" that do just that.

But perhaps if the UK's public education system focussed on promiting innovation, empathy and teaching skills that are useful outside of a test environment I could be curing diseases too. The system has failed an entire generation, as has the economy which sees people with the intelligence and qualifications to change the world out of work and in debt when they leave university. I don't like blaming everything on the government, a lot of it has to do with the individual people as well, but the government REALLY dropped the ball in educating and providing actual incenstives to my generation.

Luckily there's still a few bright sparks keeping the world lit.

On an unrelated note: just watched a recording of the latest America's got Talent (in the UK, dunno if it's the latest in the US) where two sisters with this disease entered the competition as singers to prove they could sing when everyone else told them they couldn't. And they sung bloody well. Always glad to hear there's more hope for those in nearly hopeless situations.

So you spend your day beating children and loving appliances. Or do I have that backwards, no who would ever want to beat an appliance?

this stuff was marketed as "plant food"i reckon if you put it on a plant the plant would either die or you got some little shop of horrors scenario where the plant just won't shut up about itself and will ramble on endlessly and never eat a thing
